Abstract

[The way in which youth who sexually offended are managed has significant implications for their rehabilitation. A balance must be struck between deterrence and prevention of recidivism, and the rehabilitation and reintegration of the youth back into family and society. In addition to the risk factors, criminogenic needs and protective factors that influence their offending, assessment, and treatment of youth who sexually offended should also take their developmental needs into account. This chapter will describe the Singapore experience in the assessment and treatment of youth who sexually offended. Singapore adopts an integrated strengths- and risk-based approach, with the Risk-Need-Responsivity and Good Lives Model serving as the foundational guide for assessment and treatment of youth who sexually offended. Over the years, this approach and its associated programmes have also evolved and improved in response to findings from local research and evaluation.]
